No. Not when it comes to big time P5 CFB and CBB. I happen to think this is unfortunate but big time CBB and CFB guys and CBB women are athlete-students.

That is not true. It is highly dependent on schools. That was supposed to be the difference between PAC12 and B1G vs SEC. SEC are jokes when it comes to academics with students. They have correspondence courses posing as academics. However PAC12 and B1G took a stand years ago to ensure that academics are an important part.

I find it also very saddening that B1G, by accepting USC and UCLA, is starting down a slippery slope of giving away one of their strongest qualities, standing fast towards a strong academic requirement to a part of the league.
